基于啁啾光纤布拉格光栅的宽谱光单边带调制方法

提出一种基于啁啾光纤布拉格光栅(CFBG)的宽谱光单边带(OSSB)调制实现方法。光双边带(ODSB)调制信号经过同一CFBG两个相反方向的反射,利用偏振控制器(PC)实现两个方向偏振态的正交。这种双反射CFBG(DR-CFBG)结构可以滤出光载波与其中一个边带实现OSSB调制,同时消除了反射谱内的色散,避免了滤波引起的相位畸变。利用实验制作的线性CFBG搭建了DR-CFBG,实验数据仿真结果表明,本文方法可以实现宽谱基带信号与加载数据信息射频信号的OSSB调制,结果表明传输距离大于6km时,40Gb/s NRZ信号OSSB调制传输有明显优势;加载2.5Gb/s的NRZ信号,OSSB调制传输50km,误码率为10-9时,20GHz射频为载波的功率代价比10GHz低3dB,比40GHz低1.2dB。改进CFBG的边沿斜率可以更好地抑制边带残留,提高OSSB调制信号的传输性能。     

Spectrally efficient optical label insertion/extraction technique using an optical single sideband filter

A novel label insertion technique, using an adaptive optical single sideband (OSSB) filter, is experimentally shown. The OSSB filter is used to suppress one of the sidebands of the 40-Gb/s payload signal, and a 2.5-Gb/s intensity modulated signal is inserted as a label in the suppressed sideband. Lower label-payload crosstalk is observed using the OSSB filter compared to the absence of sideband suppression, allowing a reduction of 5 dB in the label power without additional penalty. The enhanced tolerance to group velocity dispersion (GVD) of the payload is experimentally assessed and a 5-dB penalty is observed for 136 ps/nm of accumulated dispersion. Additionally, simulation results show the efficient use of electrical dispersion compensation to improve the GVD tolerance, allowing the doubling of the dispersion tolerance.     

Simultaneous suppression of third-order dispersion and sideband instability in single-channel optical fiber transmission by midway optical phase conjugation employing higher order dispersion management

In optical phase conjugation (OPC) systems, the third-order dispersion (TOD) of optical fibers and the nonlinear resonance at well-defined signal sideband frequencies called sideband instability (SI) mainly limit the transmission performance. We propose, for the first time, a scheme for simultaneous suppression of both TOD and SI in OPC systems using a periodic higher order dispersion-managed link consisting of standard single-mode fibers (SMFs) and reverse dispersion fibers (RDFs). Computer simulation results demonstrate the possibility of 200-Gb/s data transmission over 10 000 km in the higher order dispersion-managed OPC system, where the dispersion map is optimized by our system design strategies.     

Optical single sideband transmission at 10 Gb/s using onlyelectrical dispersion compensation

A system is presented which uses optical single sideband transmission at 10 Gb/s together with electrical dispersion compensation at the receiver. Transmission with a bit error rate better than 10^-10 on nondispersion shifted fiber is experimentally demonstrated over 320 km and the dispersion from 1000 km of fiber was effectively equalized in simulation. In the transmitter, driving one or two modulators with a combination of a baseband digital signal and the Hilbert transform of that signal creates an optical single sideband signal. In terms of reducing the effects of chromatic dispersion, transmitting the signal in a single sideband format has two advantages over a double sideband format. First, the optical bandwidth of the transmitted single sideband signal is approximately one half of a conventional double sideband signal. Second, an optical single sideband signal with transmitted carrier can be “self-homodyne” detected and the majority of the phase information preserved since no spectrum back folding occurs upon detection. This allows the received signal to be partially equalized in the electrical domain     

Analysis of CNR penalty of radio-over-fiber systems including the effects of phase noise from laser and RF oscillator

The effect of phase noises from a laser and an oscillator on radio-over-fiber (RoF) systems is analyzed and discussed with a power spectral density (PSD) function. A Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) and a phase shifter are employed to externally generate an optical single sideband (OSSB) signal since the OSSB signal is tolerable for power degradation due to a chromatic fiber-dispersion effect. It is shown that a carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR) penalty is deeply related to the bandwidth of a receiver filter and the phase noise from a radio frequency (RF) signal oscillator rather than that from a laser in a small differential-delay environment and a direct detection scheme. The CNR penalty due to the increment of the laser linewidth from 10 to 624 MHz is almost 1.1 dB, while the increase of the RF-oscillator linewidth from 1 to 100 Hz results in about a 20-dB penalty at a 30-GHz 10-km transmission in a standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) with a fiber chromatic dispersion of 17 ps/km/spl middot/nm.     

Subcarrier multiplexing for high-speed optical transmission

The performance of high-speed digital fiber-optic transmission using subcarrier multiplexing (SCM) is investigated both analytically and numerically. In order to reduce the impact of fiber chromatic dispersion and increase bandwidth efficiency, optical single-sideband (OSSB) modulation was used. Because frequency spacing between adjacent subcarriers can be much narrower than in a conventional DWDM system, nonlinear crosstalk must be considered. Although chromatic dispersion is not a limiting factor in SCM systems because the data rate at each subcarrier is low, polarization mode dispersion (PMD) has a big impact on the system performance if radiofrequency (RE) phase detection is used in the receiver. In order to optimize the system performance, tradeoffs must be made between data rate per subcarrier, levels of modulation, channel spacing between subcarriers, optical power, and modulation indexes. A 10-Gb/s SCM test bed has been set up in which 4 × 2.5 Gb/s data streams are combined into one wavelength that occupies a 20-GHz optical bandwidth. OSSB modulation is used in the experiment. The measured results agree well with the analytical prediction     

Multifunctional Optical Interface for Fiber-Radio Systems in Heterogeneous Access Networks

In this paper, we investigate through simulation a proposed multi-functional optical interface incorporating an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) that multiplexes multiple wavelength-interleaved dense-wavelength-division-multiplexed (DWDM) optical RF channels while simultaneously reducing intermodulation distortion (IMD) in fiber-radio systems incorporating optical single sideband with carrier (OSSB+C) modulation. The proposed optical interface is also able to simultaneously support multiple baseband transmission in an integrated wireless/wired heterogeneous access environment. We derive an analytical model and present a detailed analysis of the proposed interface to establish the viability of its operation and quantify performance limitations. Our results show that the proposed scheme is not dependent on the inherent characteristics of the optical carrier and a maximum IMD suppression of $> 9~{rm dB}$ can be achieved. The proposed interface was also investigated via simulation for a larger number of DWDM channels to establish the viability and subsequently quantify the overall performance of a heterogeneous millimeter-wave fiber-radio system with other wired-access infrastructure.

Dispersion compensation by differential time delay

A technique for optical pre- or postdistortion in order to compensate for fiber dispersion is discussed theoretically, The dispersion compensation device is based on differential time delay for the upper and the lower sideband of the modulated signal. The proposed scheme is primarily intended for high bit rate (>10 Gbit/s) time division multiplexed transmission, and in an ideal case the transmitting distance could be enhanced by a factor of 4 in a dispersive limited system. With more realistic demands on the dispersion compensation device, the gained distance is in the order of 2.5

Optical single-sideband transmitter for various electrical signaling formats

A simple high-speed data transmitter to generate optical single-sideband (OSSB) signals using different electrical signaling formats is presented. The OSSB signal is generated by combining the information signal with the Hilbert transform of that signal, obtained by means of electrical processing. A detailed mathematical model is introduced to evaluate the transmitter performance, considering the generation of OSSB signals with different electrical signaling formats. Two signaling formats are evaluated and compared: nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) and alternate mark inversion. The optimum transmitter operation conditions, namely bias and drive voltages, are derived according to the signaling format used and confirmed experimentally. Transmission tests conducted using 10-Gb/s OSSB-NRZ signals to assess the improvement obtained by electrical dispersion compensation show a significant mitigation of the dispersion distortion.     

Pulse restoration by filtering of self-phase modulation broadened optical spectrum

Restoration of distorted optical pulses is achieved using nonlinear fiber self-phase spectral broadening and subsequent optical band-pass filtering of a single sideband. Using this technique, the output pulsewidth is shown to remain constant for input pulse-widths between 9-20 ps. A detailed investigation of the signal-to-noise ratio shows that best performance is obtained by operating in normal fiber dispersion regime. This technique is also applied to restore 40 Gb/s RZ-data suffering distortion from polarization mode dispersion. The high-bandwidth fiber nonlinearity shows promise to scale to higher bit rate pulse distortion correction.     

OFDM在长距离光传输系统色散补偿中的应用

为了降低光纤长距离传输中电域色散补偿(EDC,Electronic Dispersion Compensation)的实现复杂度,采用正交频分复用技术(OFDM,Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)与光单边带调制(OSSB,Optical Single Sideband),可有效实现光纤的色散补偿。文章介绍了基于光直接检测(DD,Direct-Detection)的OFDM系统,重点对系统色散补偿的实现进行了具体的数学分析,并进行了数字仿真,就系统误码率(BER)与传统光传输系统(NRZ,Non-Return-to-Zero)进行了比较。结果表明,较传统光传输中电域色散补偿,基于光直接检测的OFDM系统色散补偿实现简单,系统复杂度降低,同时也提高了系统性能。     

All-Optical Vestigial Sideband Generation Using a Semiconductor Optical Amplifier

An all-optical setup to generate vestigial sideband signals based on self-phase modulation in a semiconductor optical amplifier is experimentally demonstrated at 10 Gb/s. Sideband suppressions higher than 15 dB are reported with improved eye opening. Wavelength-independent operation over 26 nm is demonstrated. Increased chromatic dispersion tolerance is verified: a receiver sensitivity penalty of 5.3 dB, relative to back-to-back, is obtained after transmission over 2720 ps/nm; whereas conventional double sideband is penalized by 4.0 dB after 1360 ps/nm     

Alternative modulation formats in N×40 Gb/s WDM standardfiber RZ-transmission systems

A comparison of carrier-suppressed return-to-zero (CSRZ) and single sideband return-to-zero (SSB-RZ) formats is made in an attempt to find the optimum modulation format for high bit rate optical transmission systems. Our results show that CSRZ is superior to return-to-zero (RZ) and SSB-RZ with respect to signal degradation due to Kerr nonlinearities and chromatic dispersion in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) as well as in single-channel 40-Gb/s systems over standard single-mode fibers (SSMF). It is shown that CSRZ enables a maximum spectral efficiency of approximately 0.7 (b/s)/Hz in a N×40 Gb/s WDM system with equally polarized channels. Furthermore, the CSRZ format in N×40 Gb/s WDM systems shows no further signal degradation compared to single-channel transmission

Transmission limitations due to self-phase modulation in opticalPSK heterodyne detection systems employing chromatic dispersionequalization

Even if the amplitude of a phase-modulated optical signal is constant before transmission, amplitude modulation is caused by fiber chromatic dispersion. As a result, self-phase modulation (SPM) is induced. In optical heterodyne detection, SPM cannot be compensated for by the delay equalizer (electrical domain) used to compensate fiber chromatic dispersion. However, the transmission distance limitation of multi-repeatered coherent transmission systems has not been investigated in the presence of SPM. This paper theoretically and experimentally investigates the transmission distance achievable with a phase-shift-keying (PSK) heterodyne detection system employing in-line optical amplifiers and delay equalization. The calculated results show that equalization is effective when γP₀/2B²|β₂|<10 in the normal dispersion regime, and γP₀/2B²|β ₂|<15 in the anomalous dispersion regime. Furthermore, the increase in transmission distance achieved by using equalization is experimentally shown in an 8 Gb/s PSK heterodyne transmission experiment using a conventional single-mode (SM) fiber and in-line fiber amplifiers
